2 World Tariff Profiles 2006 Country Pages Through a joint effort of the WTO, UNCTAD and ITC, this publication offers the reader in a single, comprehensive document the main tariff parameters for each of the 150 WTO Members. A special effort was made also to include other countries and customs territories, and to ensure international comparability of the indicators. The tables will be updated on a yearly basis The country pages are divided into two blocks covering (A) the domestic market access protection and (B) the protection faced in the six major export markets. In part A, information on bound and applied duties is shown by duty ranges and by sectors. Information for agricultural and non-agricultural duties is shown separately. In addition, there are indicators on the occurrence of special safeguards and on tariff quotas. In part B, the trade diversification and market access conditions in the major export markets are depicted. Taking into account preferential schemes as available in any of the three organizations databases, trade-weighted preferential margins are also estimated. In the comparison of bound and applied duties within countries and across countries, there are the following caveats that need to be taken into account. These relate to: (1) binding coverage; (2) tariff bindings not fully implemented; (3) the effects of different nomenclature breakdowns and (4) AVEs: While binding commitments cover all agricultural products, this is not always the case for non-agricultural goods. There are a number of WTO Members where the binding coverage for non-agricultural products is less and sometimes much less than 100 per cent.. Any comparison of bound and applied tariff indicators is only valid in cases of full binding coverage. For most WTO Members, except those who acceded most recently, all commitments dating back to the Uruguay Round have by now been implemented. In cases where commitments are not yet fully implemented, one may see MFN applied averages or maxima exceeding the corresponding bound duty indicators. In some cases, one can observe the average of bound duties to be lower than the average of MFN applied duties, although there is no single applied duty higher than the corresponding bound duty. Such an apparent binding violation may simply be the result of different nomenclature breakdowns. Bound duties are mostly expressed in HS 1996 nomenclature, whereas applied duties are expressed in HS 2002 nomenclature. Last but not least, the AVE calculation may affect the comparison between bound and applied duties, because the changes in nomenclature may have resulted in the use of different unit values. In other cases, bound duties have been expressed in a way that is not directly comparable with the currently used applied duties. In a number of cases, the estimated MFN applied AVEs were adjusted when the corresponding bound tariff lines were defined in ad valorem terms. In these cases, the corresponding bound ad valorem duty was used as a ceiling for the AVE estimate. 2
3 Country pages - Technical notes Only duties and imports recorded under HS Chapters are taken into account. National tariff lines that do not follow the standard HS nomenclature at the level of HS six-digit subheadings, either in HS1996 or HS2002, were discarded and not taken into account. All calculations are based on the complete standard nomenclature. In Parts A.1 and A.2, all simple averages are based on pre-aggregated HS six-digit averages. Pre-aggregation means that duties at the tariff line level are first averaged to HS six-digit subheadings. Subsequent calculations are based on these preaggregated averages. Part A.1 Summary ROW TITLES Simple average final bound Simple average MFN applied Trade weighted average Imports in billion US$ Binding coverage AG: Tariff quotas (in %) AG: Special safeguards (in %) Tariffs and imports: Summary and duty ranges Simple average of final bound duties excluding unbound tariff lines Simple average of MFN applied duties HS six-digit MFN tariff averages weighted with HS six-digit import flows Imports in billion US$ Share of HS six-digit subheadings containing at least one bound tariff line. The percentage share is also presented separately for non-agricultural (Non-AG) tariff lines. Full binding coverage is indicated by 100 without further decimals. If some tariff lines are unbound but the result still rounds to 100 this is reflected by maintaining one decimal, i.e Per cent of HS six-digit subheadings in the schedule of agricultural concession covered by tariff quotas. Partial coverage is taken into account on a pro rata basis. Per cent of HS six-digit subheadings in the schedule of agricultural concessions with at least one tariff line subject to Special Safeguards (SSG). Partial coverage is taken into account on a pro rata basis. Frequency distribution by duty ranges The shares by duty ranges in the frequency distribution are based on the pro rata shares of tariff line level duties in the standard HS six-digit subheadings. For example, if there are two tariff lines in one HS six-digit subheading, one with a duty of 10 and one with a duty of 20, then half of the HS six-digit subheading is allocated to the 5-10 range and the other half to the range. The frequency distribution includes AVEs whenever those were calculated. The percentages by duty ranges add up to 100 per cent for MFN applied duties unless there are non-computable AVEs or missing tariff lines for which no separate category was allocated. For bound duties, the duty ranges add up to the percentage of the binding coverage unless there are non-computable AVEs or missing tariff lines. Please note that the use of different nomenclatures for bound and MFN applied duties affects the comparability of bound and MFN applied duty shares by frequency ranges. When trade is available at the tariff line level, imports are allocated on a tariff line basis to the respective duty ranges. Otherwise, HS six-digit imports are allocated on a pro rata basis to duty ranges, e.g. if there are two tariff lines in one HS six-digit subheading, one with a duty of 10 and one with a duty of 20 then half of the HS six-digit imports are allocated to the 5-10 range and the other half to the range. Share of HS six-digit subheadings subject to non-ad valorem duties. When only part of the HS six-digit subheading is subject to non-ad valorem duties, the percentage share of these tariff lines is used. 3
